The Marshalltown 56D Margin Trowel is a 6 x 2 inch flat-blade utility trowel, the longer counterpart to the 52D, with a DuraSoft cushioned handle and the same squared-corner geometry that makes the margin trowel the most-grabbed tool on a tile or masonry job. The extra inch of blade gives more material per scoop and longer reach when buttering thinset on larger tile.
Use it for tile setting where the larger format calls for a longer blade, mortar pointing on stone and brick, thin-set and grout work, scooping patching compound from a 5-gallon bucket, repair work, and any general masonry chore where the 6-inch margin trowel beats the 5-inch for output without surrendering the tight-corner reach. The DuraSoft handle reduces hand fatigue on the repeat scooping cycle.
Marshalltown has been forging masonry tools in Marshalltown, Iowa since 1890 and remains the trusted American brand on commercial concrete and brick crews coast-to-coast. The 56D carries Marshalltown’s lifetime warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
